A very happy Deepavali and Prosperous new year ahead.

Thanks for sharing sweets...Now I am missing some homemade sweets and namkeen.
The sight of mom making "Karanji" a week before Diwali was enough for us to skip tution classes and be at home during those nostalgic school days.

Btw..a few of my friends from Kerala say that Diwali is not that big a festival over there-- is this true?

In north India usually holiday is minimum 3 days to celebrate the occasion.
